Overview
Ā
āA saga of courage and futility, of valor and error and heartbreak.āāRick Atkinson, author of the Liberation Trilogy and The British Are Coming
Ā
Of the many battlefields on which U.S. troops and intelligence operatives fought in Afghanistan, one remote corner of the country stands as a microcosm of the American campaign: the Pech and its tributary valleys in Kunar and Nuristan. The areaās rugged, steep terrain and thick forests made it a natural hiding spot for local insurgents and international terrorists alike, and it came to represent both the valor and futility of Americaās two-decade-long Afghan war.
Drawing on reporting trips, hundreds of interviews, and documentary research, Wesley Morgan reveals the history of the war in this iconic region, captures the culture and reality of the conflict through both American and Afghan eyes, and reports on the snowballing misstepsāsome kept secret from even the troops fighting thereāthat doomed the American mission. The Hardest Place is the story of one of the twenty-first centuryās most unforgiving battlefields and a portrait of the American military that fought there.
